I mean I can see that style being dramatic, and when you mostly have nice weather I'm sure it's lovely but who wants too look through all that plate glass at four weeks of grey dull skies?

I just moved into my dream house - midcentury contemporay with walls and walls of glass from a country cottage style home and although I enjoyed the cozy, over-stuffed comfy-ness of that decor, this is wonderful. I've enjoyed downsizing all the knick knacks and "stuff." Less is now more. Fits the more mature age I am now.
Cozy is great for families but for hubby and myself, this is working wonderfully. And yes, great weather (So Cal) is a plus, altho rainy days are great. It doesn't have to look as spare and sterile as that house did but I think that was because whoever lived there really didn't "live" there. You couldn't see any part of the owners' personality on display. Not much different than a fancy hotel. Seems like a lot of those multi-millionaire houses are really not "homes." Probably because the owners have so many houses.

I guess that's possible but we're completely fenced in, have 3 large protective dogs and are in the foothills of mountains with lots of space between homes, undeveloped.
anyway, given the way I sometimes look at home, that could scare them right out of their boots, if they looked in!

AngloAm, so glad you've come back here. Love your posts about these housewives and especially the names you give them. Love your unique take on them.

Re: Million Dollar Listing (Bravo)

This show is getting soooo much better than it was in past seasons.
Adding the new Smooth-talking Josh, who's now irritating Madison because of his assistant, the other Josh writing a book is really interesting.
Just who is this Carlton that Josh is writing about and who is he to Josh?
I thought Josh was straight....but I'm not sure now. And if this Carlton was his boyfriend, why would that be "so shocking," as the editor acted like it would be?? Maybe he's a psychic advisor to Josh? But that's still not very shocking.
Anyway, I'm really enjoying the show a lot more.
Oops, did a little Google-ing and found that it's Coltan, not Carlton and Josh, apparently is gay. So what's so shocking about that?

Re: Million Dollar Listing (Bravo)

Weasely is probably a good word for him.

I do think they're showing him in a much more favorable light this season than last season. I couldn't stand him then.
I think there's a much better dynamic on the show now with Chad gone.
Last season seemed too contrived.

What on earth is a "Southern Californian accent?" Never heard of such a thing.

My daughter has always told me that I have the worst Gay-dar. I guess she's right.
When meeting/seeing someone, I never really think about their sexual preferences, unless it's so obvious and in my face! So that's why Josh got past me.
Never even suspected it.
Never even wondered about it until this Colton thing came up.
Guess I don't really care who likes who.
